hi, jen, is that right? Maybe you can help me out, you seem to be pretty knowledgable about things, so here goes. I thought that AF would be here by now, last AF came on 3rd of july, and should be here by now. My cycle goes from 24-28 days, so there is a strong possibility that I may be pregnant. I tested on Aug 20th and got a -, but if my cycle decided to go a bit longer this time for whatever reason, then all the signs and fun times lead me to believe that there is a chance the next test will be +. I am going to wait until the 30 or 1st to retest, because what I thought was AF actually seems more like implantation bleeding, very light, only when I wipe and dark brown. Now here is the problem, I have to have cancer surgery on the 3rd (cervical) if I'm not. But if I am and the tests still say - then how am I really supposed to know. If I am, but the tests still say -, my surgeon will not know, you know what I mean? I have a sore chest, mild cramping, feel hot a lot, temp is up, have headaches, felt sick but no vomitting, and moody (more than usual lol) I'm confused as to whst is going on and hope you have some advice for me. Thanks Kat

Hi ethansmamao2. I have the same brown spotting when I go to the bathroom just like alfadva does. I have felt hot a lot too, have had very sore nipples, feel sick but haven't gotten sick, and I have been really moody. I have never had spotting before between periods. AF is not due for another week and a half. Hopefully you can help both of us :)

Kat, I hope this helps!! Yes I will agree with you Af should of been here way by now!! like the 1ts of the month!! If the last Af you had was July 3rd then you should of o'd the 17 of July!! And if you did your *thing*! You could be pg. You sound like you have some good symptoms!! But you did get a - on your pg test. Sounds strange, you are very late for Af and still have a -!! I think you might need to talk to the doctor about this, it might have something to do with your cancer! And if I was you I whould go ahead and test again in about 3 days and see what you get then. And if it's still - then I whould go to the doctors and let them take a look at you they should know whats going on, I hate to say this but there might be something wrong!! Feel free to ask more ?! <3

Ok, that means you o'd around 20th and you are about 2dpo(days past ovulation. And as far as your last Af, it does seem strange!! Have to took a HPT yet?? If not I whould just in case. Becuase yo can have a light Af and be pg too. And you are having some symptoms right?? And it's very possible that you just got pg, and are just starting to have symptoms!! how long have you been having these symptoms?? I started having symptoms at 2dpo with this pg now!! I hope this helps keep me updated and feel free to ask any more ?!! <3

hey jen, I got my dtaes confused sorry, my last period was the 28th of July and the one b 4 that was the 3rd of july, so, this very well could be AF but just a bit lighter or whatever because of stress and WANTING to be pregnant. I have to test b 4 the surgery anyway, so I guess I'll know for sure then. Thx K

I haven't taken a HPT test yet-I thought it might be too soon to test, I really wasn't sure. I have only been having the feeling hot, sore nipples, moodiness for a little while now. The brown spotting only happened the other day and then again this morning. what's the best test to get? thanks :)
